Primary Examiner-J. Franklin Foss Attorney-Curtis F.- Prangley, Mark H. Clayton, Ed-' ward U. Di'thmar, David A. Vogel, Ronald A. Sandler, Harold V. Stotland and J. Terry Stratman [57 ABSTRACT A cup holder is provided with clip and brace means for detachably securing same to the inside of an automobile door to hold any food dispensed in' cups. Auxiliary clips detachably secured to the holder'- can be used to support bags holding additional food or refuse as well as holding napkins and the like.
8 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures CUP HOLDER FOR AUTOMOBILES SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION My invention, which I call a CLIP. 0. CUP employs a horizontally disposed ring from which a horizontal V-shaped member extends, each of the two outer ends of the member having prongs or arms which can be inserted into the inner window ledge of the door of an automobile to hold the ring for use in detachably supporting a food carrying cup. A brace secured to the member at the region where member and ring join extends downward to bear against the inner surface of the door and provide support and rigidity to the holder. An arch bottom is secured to a center portion of the ring and extends downward and under the ring to provide support at the bottom of any cup in the holder. The arch bottom is adjustable to accommodate different depths and sizes of cups.
Additional detachable means can be used to hold bags, napkins or'the like.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE-DRAWINGS DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, a horizontal ring formed from a metal strap or the like has a pair of mounting arms 12 of spring steel flat strip or the like connected thereto and extending horizontally outwardly therefrom and terminating in outer ends 14. The arms 12 lie generally in vertical planes, the inner connected ends of the arms 12 being disposed generally in horizontal alignment with each other and resiliently biased apart so that the outer ends 14 thereof are spaced from each other. Integral with each of the arms 12 at the outer ends 14 thereof and extending downwardly therefrom is a prong 16 adapted to fit detachably between the window 18 and the inner ledge 20 of an automobile door panel 22. A generally heart shaped brace 24 also of strap metal is secured to and hangs downward from the arms 12 adjacent the ring to bear against the inner surface of the door and provide additional rigidity and support to the door. More particularly, the brace 24 is formed of a continuous strip of spring steel and is looped over the arms 12 adjacent to the ring 10, the brace 24 being slidably movable along the arms 12 longitudinally thereof, as indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 2. Thus, when the prongs 16 are inserted between the window 18 and ledge 20, the brace 24 may be slid into engagement with the inner surface of the door panel 22, whereby it will be appreciated that door panels and ledges of different widths or thicknesses may be accommodated between the prongs l6 and the brace 24. Arch bottom means includes a vertical arm 26 secured to the ring and extending downward, the bottom of arm 26 being connected by horizontal extension 28 to one end of a U-shaped member 30 disposed inverted in a vertical plane underneath the holder. In use a cup 36 (indicated in broken lines in FIG. 2) of food such as liquids of any type or solids of any type is inserted in the ring. Member 30 is then bent or flexed into a suitable cup bottom support position which depends upon the depth and shape of the cup. Member 30 can have an arm 32 thereon for additional support.
There may also be provided a soft plastic liner 35 for the ring 10, the liner 36 being generally J-shaped in transverse cross section as illustrated in FIG. 1, and being receivable over the upper edge of the ring 10 to provide a padding therefor.
One'or more auxiliary clips 34 can be detachably secured to the ring and extend downward to hold bags, for example of-food or for refuse, or napkins or the like.
While I have described my invention with particular reference to the drawings, such is not to be considered as limiting its actual scope.
